Title

There is a difference between what we are pointing towards when we use the terms Spirit and Soul. Spirit allows you to rise/see beyond and above the material world, to experience the timeless truth beyond thought and form. Soul shares this ability but also allows you to sink down into the Earth, to experience attachments to place, community and your unique service to your people. Though this distinction is overly simplified, one could say that Spirit is free, Soul is obligated. Spirit is transcendent, Soul is rooted. Spirit is connected with heaven/nirvana, Soul is associated with earth/destiny and the imaginal realm. Both Spirit and Soul are outside/beyond the ego, but “express” themselves differently.
